I'm volunteering to help organise and run a Youth Group (11-18 years old) in my local village this summer! I will be in charge of everything book related and I cannot wait!

Any ideas for further things I could do, or things I should change up to make eve better, please do share all your thoughts!!

My current ideas and plans are below:

• Prompt jar to pick from every time you finish a book to help decide your next read in a more fun and engaging way

• Scrapbook for reviews. There will be review cards you can fill out and then stick in, or you can get artsy and design your own review page directly in the scrapbook

• A box full of books to choose from (for free!!), collected from charity shops and local donations. Add books in and take them out as you like

• Flyers with library app details so you can download ebooks and audiobooks with more ease and accessibility

• Headphones provided, but must be packed up at the end of the night so as not to wonder off. Immersive read your audiobook and physical book, listen to the audiobook whilst doing a creative activity, or listen to music whilst you scrapbook

• Notebooks and pens for creative writing, with a jar of creative writing prompts to inspire you. Plus take your notebook home at the end of the night!

• Colouring books and puzzle books will be available to use whilst listening to audiobooks or music, or just chatting with your friends

• A box of scrapbooking supplies will be provided, including: card (white and coloured), coloured pencils and pens, stencils, washy tapes, and stickers

I'm so excited to get started and kick off the Youth Group in the summer!!
